The Loop Rule is a fundamental concept of electric circuit that says that in any round trip path in a circuit, Electric Potential equals zero.
Loop Rule
The loop rule simply states that in any round trip path in a circuit, Electric Potential equals zero. This principle deals with the conservation of energy within a circuit. Loop Rule and Node Rule are the two fundamental concepts of electric circuits and are used to determine the behaviors of electric circuits.
A Mathematical Model
A mathematical representation is: [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta {V}_{1} + \Delta {V}_{2} + \space.... = 0 }[/math]
This can also be represented in a circuit as emf = \Delta {V}_{1} + \Delta {V}_{2} + \space.....

History
The Loop Rule is formally known as the Kirchhoff Circuit Law, named after Gustav Kirchhoff discovered and defined this fundamental concept of electric circuits.
He discovered this during his time as a student at Albertus University of Königsberg in 1845.
Kirchoff went on to explore the topics of spectroscopy and black body radiation after his graduation from Albertus.
